WARRIORS SACK LLANTEROS

AP-June 20, 2009
Last night the Llanteros arrived with a much fuller roster to play a strong under-21 Warriors team. Despite playing a strong game, the score was 4-1 with the Llanteros losing again.
The game started well for the tire men with a strong field putting the young Warriors on the defensive early. The Llanteros played an aggressive first half and managed to spend more time attacking than defending.. The Warriors were held to only one goal in the first half thanks to excellent defensive play led by keeper Efrain Wong and midfielder Paul Montemayor. While forwards Carlos Hernandez and Danny Garcia took several shots, they couldn’t get them to connect.

The second half unfortunately saw another Warriors goal followed immediately by a beautiful short goal from Llanteros forward Larry Reyes, Jr. The Warriors rallied for another two goals to finish the game 4-1.

Team management stated "We did some things very well in the first half that we didn’t do in the second. Without a doubt, we could have done some things differently, especially with our defense but we are pleased with today’s game and the score doesn’t reflect how close this game actually was."

Llanteros will be playing the Chargers next Friday at 6:55. Spirits remain high within the organization and tickets are available.
